Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 26

Eva's words hit Adrian like a hammer.

When he came back to his senses, he was met with Eva's mocking and pained gaze.

Before he could take a closer look, Eva lowered her head and continued packing, carelessly shoving her clothes into the suitcase without properly folding them. As she turned around, Adrian suddenly grabbed her wrist, and his icy voice reached her ears. "Why are you moving tonight? Are you that eager?"

His tone carried a hint of scorn. "Let me guess. Is it because of the lunch you had with Carter today?"

Eva lifted her head abruptly, staring at him in disbelief.

"You don't need to be sarcastic! You know best what my relationship with Carter is, don't you?"

She tried to shake off Adrian's hand.

However, Adrian tightened his grip in that instant, preventing her from breaking free.

He curled his lip in a sneer.

"Did I say something wrong? If he's not the reason, what prompted you to pack your things today?"

He let out a derisive laugh. "You've felt trapped for these two years, right?"

Eva ceased struggling for a moment and stared at him.

"Adrian, you're the one who suggested the divorce."

Adrian replied expressionlessly, "It's exactly when you want, right? You couldn't wait to dine out with him, and now, you even want to move out of our room." Eva was speechless.

If she didn't know about Adrian's feelings for Vivian, she might have thought he was jealous. Otherwise, why would he read so much into a simple lunch?

His behavior now was probably provoked by his wounded male ego. After all, they weren't officially divorced yet, and his wife was going to sleep in another room. This triggered his possessiveness. Eva didn't want to argue with a man blinded by possessiveness, lest she start believing his actions stemmed from passion or jealousy.

She remained silent and tried once again to free herself from his grip.

Her silence made Adrian grit his teeth. "Why don't you talk? Did I hit the nail on the head? So you wanted a divorce all along? You never brought it up and waited for me to do it?"

Eva couldn't bear it any longer and raised her head.

"What do you want to say? Don't you want a divorce?"

Adrian paused at her question.

His actions today, intertwined with Vivian's money, only hardened Eva's heart, and her words were unkind.

"Our marriage was fake to begin with. Don't you remember what you said? You asked me to act along with you and please your grandmother."

Adrian's eyes went dim.

Once she finished speaking, he mumbled, "So for these two years, you've been acting along with me, is that it?"

"Haven't you been acting too?"

Eva's retort silenced Adrian.

He quietly watched the beautiful woman in front of him. He remembered that on the night he proposed the divorce, she appeared much colder and calmer than now. She didn't show any reluctance, and now, she was about to move out of their room.

With this in mind, Adrian slowly loosened his grip.

Now free, Eva turned back to packing..

Irritable, Adrian loosened his tie and said impatiently, "If you move to the guest room upstairs now, the servants will get suspicious."

Eva had thought about this and replied, "It wouldn't hurt if they did. We're going to get a divorce before long."

"What about Grandma?"

"She won't replace out."

"How do you know? What if the servants report back to her?"

Eva paused. She hadn't considered this.

After a long silence, she said, "Then we'll wait until Grandma has her surgery."

Adrian sneered, "You seem very aggrieved?"

Eva replied, "Not at all. I've been living like this for two years."

"So you've felt aggrieved for two years?"

Eva fell silent. For the first time, she found Adrian to be completely unreasonable and intractable.

She turned away, unwilling to continue the conversation.

There was no point in arguing with a man blinded by possessiveness. It wouldn't change the outcome.

Adrian watched Eva for a moment, then mocked, "Why the face? If you don't want to see me, I'll stay away." With that, he turned and strode away.

Once Adrian was gone, Eva collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly deflated.

At the sound of the front door closing, she lowered her gaze.

After two minutes, George arrived in a state of anxiety.

"Madam, why did Mr. Blackwood leave in such a hurry? Did something happen between..."

George stopped talking upon seeing Eva's pale face.

"Madam, are you alright?"

Eva didn't want to take her feelings out on others.

She forced a smile at George and said softly, "I'm just a bit tired. Maybe a nap will help."

Seeing her in this state left George more worried, but he knew better than to pry further, heaving a sigh instead.

"Please get some rest then."

"Alright." Eva nodded and lowered her head again.

Before leaving, George spotted the suitcases in the room, which left him shaken.

"What's going on? Why did Mrs. Blackwood pack her luggage? Is that why Mr. Blackwood stormed out?" he wondered.

Suddenly, he thought of Vivian, who had visited Eva in the afternoon.

George had been with the Blackwood family for many years and had watched Adrian grow up. He appreciated Vivian for saving Adrian's life, but he never expected Adrian to develop feelings for her. After all, Vivian wasn't the type Adrian would be interested in.

But life had its unexpected twists.

The Hansen family went bankrupt, and Adrian married Eva. George hoped for a happy union.

However, fate had other plans.
